	2004 South American Summit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 2004 South American Summit – the third of its kind, after earlier events in Brasília (September 2000) and Guayaquil (July 2002) – was held in Cuzco and Ayacucho, Peru, on 7–9 December 2004.
		Officially it constituted the Extraordinary Meeting of the Andean Presidential Council (Reunión Extraordinaria del Consejo Presidencial Andino [1]) and was also billed as the Third Meeting of Presidents of South America (III Reunión de Presidentes de América del Sur).
		Ayacucho was chosen for symbolic reasons: it was there that Antonio José de Sucre, fighting under the banner of Simón Bolívar "the Liberator", defeated the last Imperial Spanish troops in South America on 9 December 1824.

		South American leaders' hopes for the conference are reflected in the fact that the 12 Latin American countries participating will be represented at the highest level.
		If in promoting this endeavour South American nations are inspired by their appreciation of the historical role of Arab civilisation we should recognise, too, that in their melding of peoples of diverse ethnic origin and religious affiliation Latin America itself offers a model of intercultural harmony and understanding.
		South American leaders have formulated a comprehensive vision for this summit, which they regard as an important step towards shaping a new geo-strategic map of the world.

	South American Summit: Infrastructure Integration Is the New Name of Peace
		The immediate shock value of the summit was that two of the participating nations, Venezuela and Colombia, only weeks earlier had come close to a full break in diplomatic relations, and were on a trajectory of confrontation that could have devolved into war.
		What the four-party summit therefore indicates, LaRouche explained, is that there is a revolt going on against the fascist economic and political policies of Santander and BBVA banks, a revolt that must be viewed in its broader strategic context.
		That summit placed the issue of infrastructure integration squarely at the center of the agenda, in a way that has not been seen in Ibero-America for almost five years.

	Hispanic American Center for Economic Research - South America-Arab summit went far off the tracks
		The first-ever South American-Arab summit ended Wednesday in Brazil with a dubious achievement: It put out a declaration that can be read as tacitly justifying terrorism and introduced Middle Eastern politics into Latin America, a region where Jews and Arabs have lived in remarkable harmony for centuries.
		The two-day summit of 34 foreign ministers and several heads of state from Latin America and the Arab League would be aimed at fostering economic and trade relations, they said.
		In addition, the summit's final declaration calls for the United Nations to convene an international conference ''to study'' terrorism and ''define the terrorist crime.'' That language raises alarm bells among human rights groups, because it suggests there could be such a thing as ''good'' terrorism.

		The Simon Wiesenthal Center, for example, sent out "letters of alarm" to the foreign ministers of the 12 states participating in the summit, because it was concerned that the talks on commercial and cultural ties with the 22 Arab League members would devolve into a forum for Israel-bashing.
		Widder, who attended the summit as an observer, said the Simon Wiesenthal Center appealed to the South American states to counter its criticism of Israel by ensuring that the final draft would include an unconditional condemnation of terrorism.
		That the historical Arab League summit in South America was instead manipulated to demonize the Middle East's only democracy, he added, should not be considered merely a regional issue for South America, but a global concern.
